The Night We Cloned Tieboy

What do you do when a piano falls on tieboy? Clone him, of course!
A #spinnwebe log from June 2, 2000.

Complicating and confusing things, Mrs. Dodge was about to have a baby, and, sensing tampering in his domain, God dropped by.

The performers were, I underline, working entirely without a safety net.
By the way, in case it's not clear (and how could it not be clear?), the clone is named tieboy-- the original ends up being tieboy2.

Falling piano zone!

<sol-d> I really belong under the piano, and not in the discussions tieboy politely lifts the piano
Bryan begins playing Maple Leaf Rag
zompist tosses an iron skillet at tie, to see if he can hold both that and the piano.
<Lots42> Air Force One has a piano, according to the Perfect Dark Nintendo game. tieboy then remembers he's a weakling and collapses in agony
<sol-d> now look what you've done! you're wrecked the piano!<zompist> to say nothing of tie.<sol-d> tie is replaceable<Bryan> pianos are forever? zompist removes the skillet from tie's abdomen and tries to disengage tie from piano parts.
<Lots42> Sol is forever. <sol-d> exactly<Lots42> There Can Be Only One Sol. <zompist> is this thing a white key or a vertebra?<sol-d> let me see that<sol-d> vertebra<Bryan> Hit it. If it crunches, it's a vertebra<Lots42> But it plays such a great C note!

The tieboy ingredient list

<tieboy> am I replaceable? *** tieboy2 has joined #spinnwebe
<sol-d> sure, we can clone you, tie<mdxi> fuck. last week was Canadian Hax0r Week. is this week gonna be East Asian Hax0rs? Lots42 gets out the oven cleaner and the microwave bowl.
<zompist> they have h&x0rz in canada?<Lots42> They have computers in canada?<zompist> i thought it was just maple syrup and shit.<sol-d> we can rebuild him. bigger, stronger, faster.. the KING OF SPAIN<zompist> moose shit.<Lots42> Apparently this is the Tie Boy Ingredient List.<Bryan> Kilted Yaksmen<tieboy2> yeah, but you know the whole copy of a copy thing Lots42 stirs in moose shit and kilted yaksmen
<TheDodge> Uh oh *** TheDodge is now known as DodgeAlert
<DodgeAlert> We are in a labor standby...please stay tuned Lots42 drops in polaroids of old vacations and some cat hair.
<TMR> oh boy.<TMR> Preparing to birth here?<Lots42> Preparing To Clone Tieboy Bryan hides under the remnants of the piano, amid scattered vertebrae
<DodgeAlert> We could be, someone in my house is throwing around the word "mucus plug" and it ain't me, for a change<tieboy2> o/ send in the clones... o/ Lots42 leaves the bowl outside to catch some bugs and rain.
<zompist> wait, then what do we do with this guy?<sol-d> throw him in the wood chipper, perhaps?<Lots42> Tieboy 2 is a genetic imposterior Lots42 hides in the machine gun nest.
<DodgeAlert> Clear some room under the piano, I'm going in<zompist> there's nothing under the piano now but broken keys and tie bones, dodge.<mdxi> and even that is more "amongst" the piano Bryan scoots over
<tieboy2> can you do something about my complexion when you clone me?<Lots42> Cat hair is supposed to be illustrious and stuff. zompist throws a pineapple into the mixture.
<zompist> the noriega look is very in, tie. Lots42 fires randomly into the ceiling and pretends the plaster is snow.
<Lots42> I hate Florida.<Bryan> I hate plaster snow<Lots42> Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. Rattatatatatatatat!<sol-d> I'm allergic to plaster sol-D takes cover under the piano lid
<DodgeAlert> All right... Everything seems to be cool, MrsDodge is eating a poptart...negative...a Toaster Streudel Lots42 blows out the sun roof
zompist starts up some of those scary-looking electrical machines from frankenstein Bryan grips the B-flat wire tightly in hands, creeps up behind Lots
<sol-d> what flavour strudel? dodge, this is very important... Lots42 flees into the kitchen.
<zompist> toaster-flavored, he said. Bryan pursues
mdxi scrolls the channel 35.2 km to the left, out from under the falling plaster
<tieboy2> is this gonna hurt?<zompist> you just intermingled yourself with a piano, and you're grousing about a mere cloning? Lots42 quickly coats self with vegemite
<DodgeAlert> Strawberry...repeat....strawberry! zompist sharpens the knives and heats up the iron rods.
<zompist> of course it won't hurt.<sol-d> it's clear!<tieboy2> thanks, i feel better<DodgeAlert> Tell SAC to scramble the bombers...and take us to BabyCon 3 Bryan stares at vegemite-covered Lots and backs out slowly
Lots42 watches the lights flicker
sol-D hands zomp a lime-jello soaked sponge
<sol-d> you forgot this<zompist> thanks, sol. zompist assembles the ingredients in a vague tie shape on the moveable slab.
<tieboy2> does it take long? Will I be up and about quickly?<Bryan> Did anyone remember the nine volt battery?<zompist> can we start the lightning storm, someone? Lots42 silently regrets the naked Reno polaroids put in the mixture.
Bryan begins flying a kite
<tieboy2> just scuff your feet a few times Lots42 flicks the lights on and off
sol-D runs outside in the rain, with a lightning rod
DodgeAlert rubs a cat while wearing a sweater
<tieboy2> i don't have much energy really Bryan plans a picnic, insuring bad weather
Lots42 runs out, showers, changes, runs back and in and hides in conversation pit.

Something goes terribly wrong

<zompist> when i was at medical school they laughed at me! "you'll never clone a tieboy out of garden scraps!" but look at them now!<zompist> all embroiled in malpractice suits and hmos!<zompist> they said i was crazy! HAHAHASDHFAHFHDHAHHAHAHAHHHSAHHAAH!!<DodgeAlert> Yeah, and don't forget how that dude at Radio Shack was dissing you<zompist> is that the laugh of a crazy person?<sol-d> uhm, no<Lots42> The dudes at the Radio Shack dis everyone. *** tieboy3 has joined #spinnwebe>
<tieboy3> pop!<DodgeAlert> Well, you were doing all right until your laugh had "F"'s in it<sol-d> It's Alive!<tieboy2> so what do i do with the new guy?<mdxi> insane laughter traditionally begins with "MUA"<zompist> i need ops for this. *** MrLuke sets mode: +o zompist
Les_Miz falls asleep
Lots42 silently sneaks up and decorates Les_Miz with tinsel and garden hose
*** tieboy4 has joined #spinnwebe
<tieboy4> ploonk!<tieboy3> um<zompist> goddammit, we don't even have lightning yet.<sol-d> THE NEW ONES HAVE TO EAT THEIR PREDECESSORS *** tieboy3 was kicked by zompist

<tieboy2> they're eager is all Lots42 goes to the movies, ensuring rain
<Les_Miz> hey, it's the tieboys! Tieboy5 drools on self
zompist listens as the sky thunders, a bit late.
<sol-d> the new boy band sensation!<sol-d> tieboy! mdxi hits his TTL
Tieboy5 hides from loud sky noises
<zompist> er, shall we start the process which, uh, seems to be kind of well underway?<tieboy2> damn, #5 is a dud Tieboy5 sucks thumb
<tieboy2> er, yeah<tieboy3> i'll leave til you're ready *** tieboy3 has left #spinnwebe
<tieboy4> me too *** tieboy4 has left #spinnwebe
<zompist> awfully kind of y'all. Tieboy5 slouches after 3 and 4
*** Tieboy5 has left #spinnwebe
<sol-d> hooray! zompist cranks up the rheostats and put on some alan parsons project.
*** zompist2 has joined #spinnwebe
<zompist2> oops *** zompist2 has left #spinnwebe
*** DodgeAlert is now known as TheDodge
<sol-d> dear god, just keep lots away from the machine sol-D grabs lots and stuffs him in her freezer
<sol-d> don't want 50 of these suckers running around Lots42 presses random buttons. On the microwave.
<Bryan> Dodge, has the toaster streudel situation been successfully resolved?<zompist> anything we do now is going to be anticlimactic, i think.<BabyCon3> Do not be alarmed, just follow all BabyCon3 procedure<Lots42> mmmph mmmpph mmph! Mmm cherry. <TheDodge> We have not had to escalate to cherry

The clone appears! Also, God.

*** GOD has joined #spinnwebe
*** tieboy has joined #spinnwebe
<Lots42> God! <GOD> Is someone tampering with My domain?<TheDodge> god.com?<Lots42> Yes. ::points wildly::<tieboy> daddy!<zompist> er, that would be... <zompist> all of us!<zompist> group hug!<Bryan> God. Where the hell ya been?<Bryan> I could've used your help on my neuroscience exam today<TheDodge> Shit, god...you oughta drop by here more often<TheDodge> The Right Reverend Dodge thing alone should have incurred your wrath<Lots42> I think the problem is with a time machine. Someone brought the clones back to the point before they were cloned. *** MrLuke sets mode: +o GOD
Lots42 group hugs a teddy and a drunk stranger
<zompist> we need to test the clone, here.<zompist> tieboy: write humorous essays about temping!<GOD> Please, don't encourage him<TheDodge> But let's face it, the Wrath of God kinda pales next to a pissed off poet<tieboy> i'm an uncle temping temper, yes i am... i temped your uncle just the other day!<Lots42> Well, it's apparent we've already cloned Tie without actually starting the process. Who knew? Lots42 goes back to firing at the ceiling.
<zompist> tieboy: say something disrespectful about mr. ben! <TheDodge> First off, if you're gonna clone a spinnoff, why in the hell would it be tie GOD goes to surf for porn
<Lots42> Why not?<Bryan> Lots, it was abiogenesis. Simply mixing the ingredients and allowing them to stand at IRC temperature for a few minutes was all it took<TheDodge> Other than, "It's his only chance at reproduction"<GOD> Yeah, no shit<Lots42> I wanted lightning!<sol-d> he was mortally wounded<tieboy> I can't think of anything. Bryan shoots lightning out of ass
Lots42 wonders at what porn gets God off.
<TheDodge> What is IRC temperature?<Lots42> Aaaah! Ass Lightning! sol-D is still holding the lightning rod
GOD shoots some lightning around
sol-D fries
<GOD> Oh, sorry<TheDodge> 0 Kelvin<Bryan> I was gonna say 'room temperature' but that didn't seem appropriate<TMR> He likes octopus porn Lots42 retrieves the bowl of ingredients from the porch and starts dipping chips in it.
zompist takes the lightning rod and applies a few thousand volts to tieboy.
<tieboy> yowzers!<tieboy2> Ew. He's made out of vegetables<tieboy> Hey, don't dis your grandmother.<Lots42> God is made out of veggies. *** MrLuke sets mode: +o tieboy2
*** GOD was kicked by tieboy2 (I always wanted to do this)
*** GOD has joined #spinnwebe
<TheDodge> Can god create a channel he can't kick himself from? Lots42 slaps GOD around a bit with a large trout
<Lots42> I think Spinn is God.<TheDodge> Then you are a fool<zompist> the fool says in his heart, there is no spinn. tieboy needs a smoke
<GOD> I'd let you into heaven now, if it weren't for your chronic masturbation habits Bryan tugs on God's robe
<tieboy2> Hey, tieboy?<tieboy> Yowzuh?<GOD> YES? Bryan tugs harder on God's robe, trying to pull it off
<tieboy2> I don't think we would say "yowza".<GOD> PERV<tieboy> Sorry, previous avatar, sir.<Lots42> Naked God.
sol-D grimaces<tieboy> I should say, rather, pip pip! eh what? Lots42 fires at God with AK47.
<Lots42> Is god bulletproof?<tieboy2> tie, looking at you, I realize our butt is not that nice after all<sol-d> I read a story once, where god died, and his body crashed into the ocean. People ended up eating his corpse<Lots42> God tastes like frog legs.<GOD> The author is in a "special" place now<Bryan> BBQ Deity TheDodge loads his AK25(base16) to fire at god
<sol-d> Michael Moorcock, nooooo!<Lots42> GOD QUAKE<TheDodge> Michael Splitcock....nooooo! tieboy presents hindquarters *squeak squeak* /nicks tiebutt

Romans Charges at Jesus
<Pilate> Nail 'em *** Pilate is now known as TheDodge
*** TMR is now known as Mahir
<Mahir> Jesus! I KISS YOU! *** Mahir is now known as TMR
Romans nods to Jesus
Jesus turns Romans into tiny little bugs and stomps on them.
*** Romans is now known as tinylittlebugs
<TheDodge> Hey, y'all make sure we get adjoining suites in hell<tinylittlebugs> ouch!<Jesus> STOMP! STOMP! <tinylittlebugs> ouch, dammit, quit it Jesus turns zaps tinylittlebugs with ineffectual store bought bug killer.
tinylittlebugs coalesces into one giant bug

The clones get close

<tieboy2> hey, tie, what do you think of zompist?
<tieboy> Zompist? What can you say about someone who can't find the caps key?<tieboy2> I imagine all sorts of nasty things<tieboy> I know you do. tieboy shares a special moment with tieboy2.<tieboy2> don't touch me there<tieboy> But it's me there.<tieboy2> don't touch us there<Jesus> Eww! Self-Incest! *** tinylittlebugs is now known as BigGoddamnBug
<BigGoddamnBug> Gonna stomp me now, cross boy?
Jesus conjures up crazy aboriginies who eat bugs.<BigGoddamnBug> I'm a Kafkaesque nightmare. No aborigines scare me<tieboy> Well, when you think about it, masturbation is a homosexual act.<tieboy> So, when you meet yourself, why not go all out? <tieboy2> gotta point there<Jesus> When I whack off I change my semen into beer. <Jesus> No sin there!<TMR> Pale ale? BigGoddamnBug spits digestive juices onto aborigines

<tieboy> of course, we could argue for hours over who bottoms.<BigGoddamnBug> Just flip a coin
Jesus throws sharpened cross at the BigGoddamnBug<BigGoddamnBug> ouch *** BigGoddamnBug is now known as Bryan
Bryan returns to original form for final death scene
<tieboy2> Sigh. I'll bottom. You never want to try anything new, do you? Jesus summons JesusZord.
<Jesus> Wait. Too late.<Bryan> argh! oh the humanity! Jesus performs Mepozian Happy Dance.
Bryan wipes sweat from brow
<Bryan> Jesus, how 'bout hitting me with some wine?<tieboy> Well, clones never really reach the full potential of the originals.<tieboy> People don't like clones, really.<tieboy> It's the big red noses, I think.<Bryan> Clones shouldn't drink so much<tieboy2> At least you have an excuse Jesus changes all the water in Bryan's body into wine.
<tieboy2> Just the other day, Mom said "Why aren't you doing more? It's not like you're a clone."<Bryan> hmmm<Bryan> Wow.<tieboy> Mom always liked you best.<Bryan> Now that's an interesting physiological problem. All the water is now ethanol<Bryan> Which I assume can readily dissolve across the cell membrane<tieboy2> No, she likes our sister best. What's her name again?<Jesus> Shirley<TMR> Mary Magdalene.<tieboy> especially since she spat you out and I was assembled by unholy means out of random crap arranged on a slab.<tieboy> Unfair of her, really. *** Bryan is now known as Kemlo
<tieboy2> Yeah, she gave my imaginary friend more props then she does you.<tieboy> Your imaginary friend? Ha! <tieboy> You should hear what he says about you.<tieboy2> Have you seen him lately?<Jesus> I named my imaginary friend Satan. People took it a little too seriously.<TheDodge> Any catholics here tonite?<TheDodge> I need a favor tieboy remembers that he was created about half an hour ago.
<Kemlo> But since ALL of the water was changed to ethanol, there wouldn't necessarily be any net movement<Kemlo> The sudden change from a highly polar substance to only a moderately polar substance, though, would radically alter the environment which all of the enzymatic proteins were operating.<Kemlo> Which would probably render them completely functionless<Jesus> Those dancers in the Gap ads are the embodiment of All Evil. They rule Hell.<Kemlo> Which would result in immediate, radical central neuropathy. And Instintaneous death.<zompist> You need someone to drive to the hospital pronto, Dodge?<TheDodge> I want to test some military regulations, so, when JPII kicks it, I need to be elected Pope. I need to find out if that would preclude my military service<TheDodge> The chaplain I talked to didn't share my enthusiasm for the experiment *** Kemlo is now known as deadBryan
Jesus does a Lazurus on deadBryan.
<tieboy2> I don't belong to a religion. And neither do I.<tieboy> That was my line.<TheDodge> Whose line is it, anyway?<tieboy> Fucking originals think they can speak for us.<Jesus> I'll talk with dad when he wakes up, see what I can do for you Dodge. *** deadBryan is now known as Bryan
<Bryan> Thanks, Jesus<zompist> is the vatican considered an allied government? tieboy2 claims clone as a dependent
<tieboy> Can I have an alliance?<tieboy> DAMMIT! allowance?<TheDodge> Yes<TheDodge> Vatican City enjoys the same protection we would afford Switzerland, should they ask<TheDodge> Or any other non-aligned nation<Bryan> I don't think the chocolate is as good in Vatican City, though<tieboy2> whatever change you can find in the couch<zompist> i mean, can you serve in the government of a neutral country? TheDodge hacks a few systems and declares the United States as allied with Tieboyland
<tieboy> Considering all the time you spend there, should be quite sufficient.<Bryan> Tieboyland?<TheDodge> It's cool, I just edited Thailand's profile<zompist> population 2 and growing!<Bryan> Sounds like a sick Billy Blank home workout video<Jesus> Jesus is tired. Jesus is going to take a blue pill and go to sleep. *** Jesus has quit IRC (Leaving)
<TMR> Jesus is a pill freak?<Bryan> wouldn't you be?<Bryan> Crucifixion is fucking traumatic<tieboy2> Oh, like you can talk<tieboy> And I don't waste half my time on irc.<TheDodge> Every Sunday people eat his body and drink his blood, and they do this because they LIKE him<TheDodge> Imagine what people who don't like him would do<zompist> it was his idea!<Bryan> And talk about the neglect issues that boy has. Never met his dad.<tieboy2> At least I'm not a shambling mound of vegetables<tieboy> I'm high in beta carotene, can you say the same?

Blonde or brunette?

<tieboy2> Oh, which one of us is going on that date tomorrow?<TheDodge> Neither of you<TheDodge> You can't date your hand in most states<tieboy> Clones are awfully sexy, don't you think?<tieboy2> Well, you are. But I'm biased.<BabyCon4> Dodge...open a beer, we are at BabyCon5 *** BabyCon4 is now known as BabyCon5
<tieboy> Wait a sec... is she cute?<Bryan> Your hand is female?<TheDodge> *whew* I was getting nervous there *** TheDodge is now known as DodgeNES
<tieboy2> Very cute<tieboy> Blonde or brunette?<tieboy2> Brunette<tieboy2> She wants to meet us in OAKLAND, on 38th & San Leandro. Okay? At midnight tieboy puts on a little Brut and combs his hair in a nonchalant wave.
<DodgeNES> Holy crap, tie<tieboy> Hubba hubba, massa! Tie-sa love you!<DodgeNES> You can't go to Oakland, you're white Bryan begins sweeping plaster off the floor, whistling
<tieboy2> Shh! I'm trying to get my clone killed Les_Miz eats the plaster
Bryan shakes head
<Bryan> Dodge, NES?<DodgeNES> Yeah, I'm playing Bionic Commando<Bryan> Ooohhhh, cool!<Bryan> I loved that game. I respected it so much for not having a 'jump' button. tieboy checks the map carefully, circling the intersection in red.
<tieboy2> It's a great neighborhood, cloney. Nothing to worry about<tieboy2> This clone is nothing like me. Combing hair? Wearing Brut? Checking maps?<tieboy> But we score exactly the same on the straight-acting test.<zompist> kids so rarely turn out as you want them to.<Bryan> Yeah, 9. "Extremely Clony" tieboy hits Bryan with his purse.

<sol-d> Oh margey, you came and you found me a turkey.. sol-D smacks dodge
<DodgeNES> Whoa, when me and Sol got synchronicity, that's pretty fucked up<sol-d> what, I'm not someone good to synchronize with? sol-D gets all huffy
<tieboy2> why don't we have that kind of symmetry, clone?<tieboy> Sol, will you date me? My original can chaperone.<sol-d> Oh, you?<sol-d> hmmm<sol-d> Nah.<tieboy2> whew<tieboy> That's symmetry.<tieboy> dammit.<DodgeNES> Sol, do you really feel comfortable with the thought of achieving oneness with TheDodge?<sol-d> Not really<sol-d> it's a scary thing<DodgeNES> My point exactly, that's why it's fucked up<DodgeNES> Next thing you know, you're joining the AirForce and preaching to #jesus<tieboy2> tieboy, will you go out with me?
